Freedom,

If you really love Elon, I would retake your SAT as planned and let it roll into RD. If you go to the Elon site on this forum, you can read some of the posts there about acceptances. Last year I read about students who were turned down with GPA’s of 3.7 and SAT combined scores of over 2000. I don’t know about their course difficulty.
As far as the SAT is concerned, my D used an online course offered by College Board that only cost $70.00. (Go to their website and click on “books and courses”) Based on her PSAT scores she worked on areas that she thought that she could improve for 20 minutes a day over the summer. She drastically improved her score. For her, it was mostly a matter of figuring out and gauging her speed and this was easily done with the practice tests. She only ended up taking the SAT once after not having done exceptionally well on the PSAT. Good luck!
